Knitted fabrics do not fray easily when cut, primarily because their interlocking loops provide structure and prevent unraveling. Unlike woven fabrics, which can fray at the edges, knitted textiles tend to maintain their integrity when cut. However, the degree of fraying can depend on the type of yarn used and the stitch pattern. It's often advisable to finish the edges or use techniques like overlocking if a clean edge is desired.

What fabric frays?
Fabrics that fray easily include those with loose weaves or unfinished edges, such as cotton, linen, and chiffon. Natural fibers like silk and wool can also fray, particularly if they are not properly treated or hemmed.

However, in most fabric stores, you will purchase both woven and knitted fabrics by the yard (length).
